Well, what else could you do to a 69 mustang coupe to make it more desired?

Love the little random triangular sheet metal thingies on the side. Surprised Ford didn't do that originally.

Dual purpose. It can also be used as a dumpster.

Default HEY HEY IT'S ANOTHER...

There is a registry/list of sorts for the MM Replicas on the web somewhere.

There was another in FL that went to EPAY and flipflop from 69k down to a buy it now of 60K
125 for this one which I think is not the same one is a dreamers price for sure.

I appreciate the workmanship that has gone into some of the replicas while others are pure garbage cans.

Barris was lucky to be able to buy one of two originals but after he bastardized it, IMO it was ruined.

The goofy kid in me loves the Memories the REAL Mobiles evoke and I was able to fulfill a childhood wish to get into a REAL one, Goofy, YES. Fun Hell YES!

It's a "clone" plain and simple. It's bad enough society has to put a name on everything, but it's even worse when they try to rename everything to make it more appealing to the ears.

Just call it what it is. Some people make this hobby pretty goofy anymore.

An answer to a question that no one asked.

No motor, no keys and no good will come of it...

But I have so many more questions:

Trades only?
What's the point of shortening a Monte Carlo Chassis to put it under this car? I'm not a Ford expert, but I'm pretty sure they were all unibodys by that year, anyways.

A clone or recreation should be an exact copy. Like the 10,000 or more 69 Z-28's running around than were ever built, but you can't tell by looking.
A Tribute is; appears similar to with obvious discrepancy's.

Your at the redlight again your girls changing the radio station again and to your despair you see a Camaro and Mustang rolling up on either side of you. Your mind says I'm gonna get smoked but your mouth says I've got these clowns watch this babe she says no no no not again I'm embarrassed for you almost everytime. You shrug her off and stage your little junk at near redline in absolutely no fear of snapping axles or even leaving expensive rubber on the pavement by now each car is on either side of you likely paying you no mind in your little Hyundai Accent covered with Greddy stickers and fart can exhaust. Your girl says oh damn actually me might get these guys it's a 91 4cylinder mustang and 99 V6 Camaro and I forgot you just put that cold air intake on and the sticker that came with it to the light turns green and your off to the races proud as hell you've got at least a length on them until the mustang cruises right by you face buried in there cell phone texting and Camaro squeaks by to with the driver trying to give the baby in the backseat it's pacifer. Already shrunken and deflated in defeat your girl makes matters worse as she realizes the other cars were not even racing. I've got one hell of a deal for you! Time to step up to the big leagues my friend were talking about teriyaki rice no more plain Jane white rice for you. This 3000Gt has bodied more cars on the streets than the undertaker has his entire career. You'll be the guy and car they all fear the king of the lot. You'll soon forget about the wale sitting beside you and you'll have more hunnies in that seat than a tanning salon on a college campus. It'll take some getting used to all the power but hey the rewards are worth it. Instant cool points. No more Wales and you'll be a bro with show and go. Come get some!

1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT 6 cylinder 5spd 154,600 miles. Tires up front not great. Tires in rear decent. Is this rice burner for you?

I logged into my CL acct to update a few items. A TOS agreement came up. Usually this stuff is the normal boilerplate till I ran across this:

(K) aggregating,
displaying, copying, duplicating, reproducing, distributing, or
exploiting CL content for any purpose without our express written
consent - $3,000 for each day you engage in such violations;

wonder what NJ Steve thinks? is this a legal photobucket kinda thing?

That’s probably the oldest Mitsubishi on the road. Not only do those engines burn oil like crazy, they will seize the second the level drops below “fill” on the dipstick.

fair use
noun
noun: fair use; plural noun: fair uses
(in US copyright law) the doctrine that brief excerpts of copyright material may, under certain circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder.

It's really hard to restrict any kind of First Amendment stuff here in the U.S.
